1. Estimation of number of Architects

2. Purpose of exercise - estimation as uniform as possible
- no distortion of the facts of the profession
- estimation to be included in the cultural occupation employment total

3. Difficulties
- most refined code : ISCO 2141 (architects + town and traffic planners)
- ISCO4 is unavailable in several countries
- regulations and job content vary across countries (Italy, Germany)

4. Previous estimate [ 20 % - 50 % ] of a cross
of NACE 74 (Other business activities)
with ISCO 214 (Architects, engineers and related professionals).
But ...
- the chosen bracket is arbitrary and too broad
- does not correspond to reality for several countries

5. The approach by profession
- the profession is on the whole well regulated and organised
- many countries have an Order of Architects …
- … who owns statistics about the profession

6. Estimate for other countries
- For responding countries :
r = Architects / (Cross Nace74/Isco214)
r = 27 % (without Italy & Germany)
- For non responding countries :
Architects = 27 % x (Cross Nace74/Isco214)
